Cheers, Mal. Was it an old guy with a beard driving it or a youngster ?

Ian has had that car about 30 years now, and longer than he has had his son, who took over most of the driving. He lives over Livingston way. I must get back in touch

Here it is back at the 97 Nats. The owner is the left of the two walkers.

no pics off cliff turners dart ???? it sounded strong and could have been a challenger for the mopar kos title but for some bizzare reason has 12" slicks so has outlawed himself, that car would still hook up easy on a 10.5 tire, i reckon it will go a 9.80s

I've got some, Dunc. Will download the rest in a bit and put one up.

Extract from Email from Cath Tig
"Can you let Sandy on the forum know that Ian Houston's Firebird was being driven by son Paul at the weekend, and ran a best of 9.1 @ either 154 or 156. On street tyres and through the mufflers. It's now got a 555ci BBC with a tunnel ram and a Bananarama! of nitrous. We haven't seen them since they used to come to York several years ago, and neither of them seem to have changed a bit

Hi Kev,

Thank Cath for me.

I must get back in touch with Ian. Damn how easy it is for time to fly by.

All the best
